Rosneft has opened a "Onshore Drilling" Competence Center at the Tyumen Industrial University. This new, unique training facility provides comprehensive training for drilling and well workover specialists.

The Center comprises five specialized classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art Russian simulator systems. The equipment simulates real drilling conditions and fully replicates the workstations of a driller, his assistant, and engineering and technical personnel. All multimedia solutions are developed by domestic developers, ensuring technological independence and compliance with current production standards.

The simulators help develop and refine skills in tripping operations, choke application, surface equipment management, and drilling crew interaction during drilling operations. Trainees will be able to practice over 30 real-world scenarios in various geological conditions.

Every year, the Competence Center will provide training for university students, as well as advanced training for employees of Rosneft subsidiaries and specialized service organizations.

RN-Uvatneftegaz (part of Rosneft) provided organizational support for the project. The company's specialists actively participated in developing the Center's concept, testing the simulator systems, and developing the educational programs' methodology, taking into account current production challenges.

As part of the Rosneft 2030 strategy, the Company supports government initiatives to develop the country's education system and human resources. Rosneft not only invests in the creation of unique educational centers but also develops professional standards by integrating cutting-edge scientific research into the educational process.
